The Next Big Thing?: Rixton - Me And My Broken Heart

Looks like Rixton, a group from Manchester might be the next big thing! These guys have been signed to Interscope/Polydor and besides being managed by Justin Bieber's manager Scooter Braun have been working with top producer Benny Blanco (of Katy Perry, Maroon 5, Britney Spears and Ke$ha fame). After achieving a sizeable following on YouTube, the guys have just premiered what looks like is going to be their debut single. This track "Me And My Broken Heart" is an insanely catchy piece of pop with an infectious chorus and is very much reminiscent of Maroon 5's recent releases. Expect a chart invasion from these guys in the not too distant future!

Tom Aspaul - Indiana (features on Kylie Minogue's forthcoming album "Kiss Me Once" as "Feels So Good")


First post for a LONG time I know but I thought I'd better come up with something good! This summer-tinged electro-pop gem "Indiana" from London-based singer/songwriter Tom Aspaul is an absolute corker. As Popjustice said when they posted it last year as their "Song Of The Day", this track certainly does have a bit of Sam-Sparro-Black-And-Gold about it, and definitely gets better on every listen. Aspaul's laid-back and smooth vocals are brilliant and "Indiana" has the potential as-is to crossover onto the charts, but the MNEK-produced track will be appearing in another guise soon as "Feels So Good" on Kylie Minogue's forthcoming album "Kiss Me Once". Looking forward to hearing that!
